January Record a Day: Days 13 Through 21

Jan 2014 Record a Day 13

What I love about this “record a day” photo project on Instagram is that it really allows me to become reacquainted with my collection and to really explore my husband’s collection.  Here is a recap of days 13 through 21, enjoy!

  1. Cool records! And even more cool to have your own, private deejay, haha!! 🙂
    In my early twenties I dated a former deejay, who wanted to sell out all his 45″ records. Fortunately, I was allowed to pick all the records I wanted from his collection, before he sold the rest. I’m so glad that I chose to keep all my vinyls from back then!

    1. Thanks Conni! It is nice having a deejay at my disposal (lol). Awesome that you got to go through the records from that deejay you dated. Vinyl is definitely having a resurgence, and I’m seeing more and more independent record stores having a bit more staying power. I guess people are still nostalgic like me!
